She should tell us
if she's going to be late.
 
She's making us wait.

Sin-jae, just drink with Eun-sup today.

 
I have something to take care of.

 
Eat up. She says she can't come.
 
Give us a bottle of soju, please.

Thank you for your kindness.
 
I should repay you in cash,

I hope you can get a satisfactory price.

Ma'am.
 
The royal helicopter was just approved to
make an emergency landing on KU Building.
 
His Majesty is coming to Seoul?
 
At this hour?
 
Men usually do this when their girlfriends
miss the last train or bus.
 
When their girlfriends went to Seoul
and missed the last train back to Busan.
 
But there's no way
His Majesty has a girlfriend.
 
What could it be?
 
Did you have an appointment with her?
 
No way.

Back then and even now,
 
the view here is stunning.
 
It seems too nice
 
for a traitor's resting place.
 
I thought about it sometimes.
 
What was that body?
 
Are you still bothered by how
we announced that the guards killed him?
 
Back then, that was the only way
to protect the Royal Court.

This is the right address.
 
I think it was set here on purpose.
 
If she's being this thorough about hiding,
it'll take some time to find her.
 
This made me confirm two things.
 
One is that Song Jeong-hye
is with Lee Lim,
 
and the other is that
even though it's work,
 
it's nice to go somewhere far with you.
 
Wherever it is.
 
Do you get tutored
to learn phrases like that?
 
Surprisingly, I taught myself.

Was it a really long dream?

 
It was my first time seeing
a house like that.
 
A house with a gate and a sofa.
 
And my mom smelled really nice.
 
"I really hope Kang Hyeon-min
 
is just a dream."
 
I thought to myself.
 
It could really be just a dream.
 
Why do you think that
Kang Hyeon-min is a memory?
 
I met someone.

The freezer on the second basement floor.

 
Okay, I'm coming.
 
Sin-jae.
 
His Majesty has such an exquisite face,
 
so I reduced the saturation
of the royal robe.
 
And the light in Gwangyeongjeon

-as well as His Majesty's radiant face.
-How far did you go?
